1. This is a basic Bard Guide for people that want to pick up the job and play it at a decent/expected level. It is not covering end Game optimization.

3. Hey guys, I noticed there's a lot of Best in Slot gears online but many of them focus on 2.2 patches, -some- you find using the Weathered stuff from Soldiery, others the Allagon etc. But I've noticed a lot of Bards in game (least on Malboro) who are rocking the Saurian Equipment (The crafted one in HQ) and loaded up with Materia.

Bard is somewhat famous for having the worst stat growth in the game. If you want to be level 99 with terrible stats, level your character up as a Bard.

Moveset: Bardsong – Final Fantasy Tactics Bard

Bard’s moveset is… not very good. Each of these skills fires off every round and affects all allies regardless of range, which is nice, but it has a 50% miss chance that can’t be boosted in any way. Some of the effects are fairly potent (+1 PA, random buffs, Quick, etc), but keep in mind that you’re sacrificing an entire character in order to achieve them; the Bard can’t take any other actions while singing.

Reaction Abilities – Final Fantasy Tactics Bard

Magick Boost increases MA by 1 every time you get hit. In essence, that’s not so bad if you have a character focused on magic damage, but you have to give up Reflexes/Shirahadori in order to get it and magic-focused characters tend to be more fragile than physically focused characters already. Faith Boost is the same thing but… you don’t want high faith. This skill makes your character worse, permanently, every time you get hit.

Support Abilities – Final Fantasy Tactics Bard

None

Bard has no unique Support Abilities so there’s nothing to discuss here.

Movement Abilities – Final Fantasy Tactics Bard

Move +3 is basically the only reason you’d want to unlock and grind within the Bard class. It’s roughly tied with Teleport as the best-in-slot Movement skill. Fly, the single most expensive skill in the game, is not useful at all. It gives you the same benefit as Ignore Height and lets you ignore terrain hazards but… Teleport also gives those benefits and increases your movement range and only costs ~10% the amount of JP.

Final Fantasy Tactics Bard Overall Assessment

Bard is pretty much only useful because of Move +3. Beyond that, there’s really not much value in unlocking Bard or using it in battle, especially because it’s a male-only class in a game where male units have lower natural MA than female units.
